Hold On

Let them whisper behind your back again. Stop. I’m not afraid if your voice is alive. I choose not fear, not habit, not a role. I choose you and my new peace. Don’t let go of my hand. Hold on, hold on. This city won’t survive without you. I’ve learned to be ice, but you say live. And my heart says don’t leave. Don’t promise me forever. Just be, just be. If I suddenly fall silent, reach out to me. I’m not up for a lie to deal. I’m asking you not to turn away so that Love doesn’t leave like a random thought. I’ve seen many beautiful but empty forever where It’s storefronts and there’s nothing inside. But you don’t play. You’re here, you’re not water. You stay with me when the colors fade. I don’t wanna be convenient. I wanna be with you without unnecessary Performances, without asking for patience. If it hurts me, I’ll be honest and say It hurts me. And you won’t leave. You’ll stay. And don’t be silent. Let Them whisper Behind your back again. Break down, wait. I’m not afraid if your voice is alive nearby. I choose not fear, not habit, not a role. I choose you and my new peace.
